[Ubuntu-manual] Two questions: One about using Ground Control and one about Quickshot

2012-05-26 Thread Patrick Dickey
Hello everyone, I've got two questions (or more, depending on the answers). The first one is how do we get groundcontrol working on Ubuntu 12.04 (for those not aware, groundcontrol is a GUI implementation of the bzr system). I get the login to launchpad screen, and log in. However, it just returns

Hi Jim, After I pulled the latest version, #49, I gave the command 'make', the output of which I send you so you can compare it with yours. I do see ** WARNING ** Failed to convert input string to UTF16... in your output, but after googling it appears that this is not a serious problem. Others

Hey all, I have translated the Microblogging section to LaTeX and pushed to bzr. Here is the pdf if anyone wants to see but does not use bzr: http://ubuntuone.com/5y3BEE7Dkudb7onOQHzQ3u I did very minimal editing on the section, and I think someone else should look it over too. -Andrew On Thu,

Well...for whatever reason...I'm back in business. I let the make process run for 35 minutes...it went through the build process several times, but I now have a 150ish page manual that is viewable. There ARE a lot of error strings being generated, and I'm not sure if this is "normal LaTeX stuff"

Glad you got it sorted out. I was thinking that mine took about 20 minutes or so (just doing make ubuntu-manual-en_US.pdf). As for the errors, I think it depends on what they are. The ones that say things like marginpar moved on page xx or whatnot, are more informational than anything. You'll know
